Photo Gallery: UNC women’s hoop senior night

0

We went to Senior Night for Ivory Latta and Camille Little last night. I’m really glad we went. We adore both of them so much and I really wanted to honor their contributions to UNC basketball.

I’ve been casual friends with Camille’s mom since I used to cover her in HS and remember even driving up to an inner city church in Winston to see Camille commit to UNC. Hayley loves Ivory who has been just as nice to her as someone could be, which makes me love Ivory even if she wasn’t arguably the best women’s basketball player in the country.

I took most of the non-action photos but Hayles tooks a lot of the games ones. She is getting so good. She fell asleep in the car on the way home and Jeff came out to carry her inside, so cute.

Photo: Snow Day!

0

WRAL is running photos from viewers so I had to send in one from the front yard this morning, just a simple cute shot of kids all bundled up playing. From left to right, it is Victor, Simon, Gabby and Hayley.

Victor and Gabby are twins whose backyard touches ours and they are less than a month older than Hayley. Simon moved here this summer, just two houses down from us on the culdesac and is right now playing upstairs with Hayley. The four kids play together often, as a foursome or split up in twos. We love living on a street full of kids but it was an extra stroke of luck to have four really close in age.

Photo: Visiting Landon at NICU

0

We went to see our friend’s Sara and Mike (who came over for Xmas) and their new baby, who just need some time in the NICU to get on track. I’ll post some more photos soon but our friend Andrea took a cute one of me and Hayley.

I realized I never posted what my funky hair looks like… You can see the streaks of pink and blonde.

Photo Gallery: Disney

I finally slogged through getting these edited and online. It is now 3:32am but I’m giddy – from being punchy true but also from seeing all these photos again of everyone there (me, Jeff, Hayley, Uncle Jay, Grandma Sharen and Grandpa John). Thanks to Jeff’s folks for this great trip.

There are hundreds of photos posted!

Hello everyone … a few photos of Hayley from the GSK basketball tournament

0

I’ve been so remiss in posting photos because I have so darned many of them from Disney and Christmas to get through. Hayley and I are over at the GSK Holiday Invitational from the 27-29th, where I’m media director and Hayley is a ballgirl (she had Coach Roy Williams sign her new high tops last night). I’ll posted a few photos of her.

So don’t think my lack of postings mean anything is wrong. We are also sorting out some issues with the blog b/c WRAL changed formats.

Day One


Handing out balls.



Watching the action with Ward, they’ve been doing this for three years so far.


Watching the inbounds

Day Two



Waiting during halftime.



Bit of ball handling skills work



Coach Roy Williams’ signature on her new high tops

Photos: Happy Turkey Day

Couple of photos of the family as Thanksgiving was ended. I keep hoping to take more photos but that’s tough from in the kitchen. Of course most of the photos would be of the guys watching football or everyone eating!

back row: Jeff, Gordon (my dad). next row: Sharen (Jeff’s mom), John (Jeff’s dad) and then Joanne (my mom). next row: Jay (Jeff’s brother), next row: Cathie (my aunt) and then lowest row: Hayley.

Photos: Hayley with her basketball trophy; Team photo

0

The basketball season is over for the 8-9 Panthers. They were undefeated and league winners for the 2nd season (our first since Hayley is just 8). Hayley got her trophy and award at a party last week.

Hayley got the team Hustle award and her coaches said she was the scrappiest kid they had seen in several years. They continued with they could always count on her for tough defense and coming up with layups just when they needed a score.

It was a great season for Hayley, learning to play with much bigger kids and the fun of playing with all girls for the first time.

Photo Gallery: Hayley starts horseback riding lessons

0

Photos from riding lessons from last week. Mason from next door came along to check out the stable as well. They are both so cute.

Hayley can now handle the horse basically on her own as well as ride bareback. She is definitely in a horse-y stage, she’d spent every day at the stable if she could!

Photo Gallery: Panther game photos

0

I’ve taken photos from all of the games so far this season for the Panthers 8-9 Town of Cary team. The photos are not great – lighting in gyms like this coupled with floor glare are rough. This gallery is just ones of just Hayley.

The photo below I adore – she had six points (3-3 shooting), three steals and did so many little things right on defense and offense. She set two nice picks and she figured out how to switch to backpedaling to cut off a fastbreak – those things pleased me as much as the scoring. This is an 8-9 team and she is one of the youngest and 2nd to the smallest on the team.
